Maggette out for three weeks; Ross and Thornton game-time decisions. Mobley not quite 100%.

So much for the Clippers' depth at the 3. My assumption is that [a] Sam and Knight/Dickau will see some time together in the backcourt, with Mobley and Patterson out on the wing covering Anthony. [b] Davis and Williams will get some time on the block, with Thomas moving over to the 3 when Anthony sits [which isn't very often]. Either way, this amounts to very bad news. Denver will sag, which will make this terrific interior defensive team even tougher.

It gets to a point when any solace you can take away from "well, this will give some younger players time to develop" is secondary to the general unwatchability you have to endure as a viewer.

Good news!

We have launched a new ClipperBlog.com site! You are currently on our old system & are viewing an archived page. We will continue to keep all 670 posts from our first 3 years on this archive site. Soon we will be closing the comments for each of these older posts.

Thorton/Mobley/Ross are all questionable tonight. Denver is -6.5 and the Clippers are at home. Just let Sam keep shooting, get him 20+ points a night and then trade him. Trade rumors will be starting soon anyway.
